DR. OCTO REX LOOP PLAYER
(RECORD+REASON)
709
• The Loop Transpose value can also be controlled via MIDI, by pressing a key between C-2 and C0 (with C-1 re-
setting the transpose value to zero).
This way you can also record transposition changes in the sequencer.
! To control Loop Transpose via MIDI, the Note To Slot parameter must be set to the Loop Slot you want to con-
trol, see “Note To Slot”.
q It’s also possible to set a global transpose value that affects all REX loops equally, see “Global Transpose”.
Loop Level
D Set the individual levels for the loops in the Loop Slots with the Loop Level knob.
This lets you match the levels of the loops in the 8 Loop Slots.
Oscillator section
For a REX file, the audio contained in the slices are what oscillators are for a synthesizer, the main sound source. The
following settings can be made in the Osc Pitch section of the Dr. Octo Rex:
Env. A
This parameter determines to what degree the overall pitch of all the REX files will be affected by the Filter Envelope
(see “Filter Envelope”). You can set negative or positive values here, which determines whether the envelope curve
should raise or lower the pitch.
Oct and Fine - Setting the overall Pitch
You can change the overall pitch of all REX files in the 8 Loop Slots in three ways:
D In octave steps.
This is done using the Oct knob. The range is 0 - 8, with “4” as default.
D In semitone steps.
This is done by using Global Transpose controls, see “Global Transpose”.
D In cents (hundredths of a semitone).
The range is -50 to 50 (down or up half a semitone).
q To transpose individual REX loops, use the Loop Transpose parameter, see “Loop Transpose”.
! To tune an individual slice in a REX loop, select it and use the Pitch parameter below the waveform display,
see “Editing in the Waveform Display”.
